Steve worked very well with us. It was a very collaborative fort which was important for us as this was our first experience in hiring an attorney.

Steve gets the job done. I had a time sensitive situation during the Holiday's. He jumped on board and was honest on how things might go. I am very thankful to Steve for negotiating my contract and doubling the offer! I highly recommend Steve and have passed his contact information to several people.

I highly recommend Steve, and found him calm, cool, and collected right when I needed a good lawyer. He was recommended to me by another former client - so I can say word of mouth is very valuable. He was very patient with me, especially when I know I was probably a big giant pain as I had so many questions and concerns. He listened to me both from the initial consultation and as the case progressed. My outcome was very positive both due to his reputation and expertise, and it certainly made a great and positive impact on life and career. I received much more than anybody likely expected though it was certainly deserved. His first consultation was free while deciding to take the case, and I shared the situation at length with him. That was helpful for me to put things in perspective as well. His rates are fair, and he is specific in his billing. Quite frankly I didn't have a qualm concerning the bill as I felt like I got much more back than I could possibly repay. I am thankful for this expertise as I got my life, career, and well-being back as a result. As I felt my situation was highly volatile.......his calm demeanor, research and preparation were most appreciated. I haven't looked back, and only focus forward now.

Steve was highly recommended by our real estate attorney. After purchasing a new home, my wife and I experienced more than light seepage in our basement. We strongly believed the previous owners did not fully-disclose everything we needed to know about the property. Steve provided us the appropriate guidance and understanding to move forward with our claim. We hired Steve not knowing what to expect. After all said and done, Steve provided us with superior guidance, professionalism, consistent communication and impressive negotiating skills. My wife and I could not be more happy with the outcome. Thank you Steve!!

Mr. Ekker represented my small business during a dispute with a contractor. I was extremely impressed by his ability to quickly gain a firm understanding of our situation and clearly articulate our position to all parties involved. Communication was excellent and I never felt out-of-the-loop. He was professional and direct with all dealings and was able get results without having to go through the courts (phew!). I would recommend Steve to any of my family or friends and would hire him again without a second thought (...but let's hope I never need to! Lol!)

Our son had trouble with a Landlord who refused to return his security deposit by making false statements regarding repairs he supposedly made. We retained Mr. Ekker who promptly resolved the issue to our full satisfaction. Our son received his entire security deposit. What impressed us was the fact our son had relocated to Texas and never had to return to Chicago to settle the matter.

We have never had the need for a lawyer before so we found Steve by word of mouth. Definitely a good choice. Although our case is a complicated one, Steve has done a great job keeping me informed and explaining the legalese when I don't fully understand. I wish my son's accident never happened but I'm glad we found Steve to help us get through the legal aspect. Case is still ongoing, but we have hope that it will end soon with a good outcome.
